I have tried this tool on my Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (TCL, MT6582).

I have USB debugging enabled and the drivers installed but it does not 'see' or work with the phone.

Is there something more I can do so that this may work for me with this phone ??

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlexZap:
Most likely you need to update the version of adb that comes with mtkdrt. Just replace the adb file with one more recent.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vtsnaab:
Thank you:

Is there any best source for this which you would be kind enough to point me to ??

Thanks for your helpful reply !!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlexZap:
Install minimal adb and casebook from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 . Then where ever it installs the adb.exe file, copy it to the adb subdirectory of mtkdrt.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vtsnaab:
Thank You !!

Excellent !!:

After posting, searched on 'latest adb' & found several sources - but not the one you provided.

Installed the one from that link - copied files - still no go - on a whim, also copied them to system32 as it is in the path & easily found for sure - and bam - there is my device, showing just as I'd hoped it would.

Thanks Very, Very Much !!!

For me minimal adb install is a piece of software with many function not needed (like the installer and exe file).

Just enough adb platform tool (without install) and with command line help.

Stuck. Any help for this, please ??

Posting back after trying this with my phone.

The Alcatel (TCL) One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (MT6582).

After the suggested updating of ADB, the MTK Tool did connect:

Tried the ROOT button, but it fails:

The guide linked there:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5

Seems wonderful and very encouraging.

I was able to find http://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool, and it does do some things, BUT:

When I have tried this with my phone, I cannot get past step #6.

Tried all the suggestions that pop up when it fails and that is as far as I can get.

Is there anything else I can do to get this phone rooted ??

I am not concerned about keeping it perfect as much as really wanting to get it rooted so I can remove the bloat and use root apps...and I do hope that eventually some method will penetrate this seemingly impenetrable phone !?!

Thanks for the help folks - any further help and pointers will be hugely appreciated.

This thread is ONLY about MTKDroid.

Not about a Falshtool.

The blue indicatori in MTKDroid mean that yor device is not rooted.

You should root using one tool like Kingo Root/vroot/iroot/etc.

To use SP Flashtool (only if you have original ROM) you have to install Mediatek USB Preloader driver.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vtsnaab:
Please pardon my confusion ?!?

I found in the guide here, in this same thread:

[IMG="From the guide..."]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1765179&d=1361962783[/IMG]

I will very much appreciate any info leading to any tool that may actually work ?!?

Is there a custom recovery for your phone? Did you look on needrom? What version of android is it running? You said it was a mt65xx based device? If there is a custom recovery, you can just try flashing it, the using it to flash the latest supersu beta. If there is no custom recovery, you could try one of the automated buildtools by yuweng (he has one for twrp and one for philz), and then flash the latest supersu beta.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vtsnaab:

Hi AlexZap, and thanks for replying to my queries.

If there is a custom recovery for my phone I could not find it.

(Also could not get through the process of making one as described.)

Yes - I did search on needrom, for both MT6582 and MTK6582 - but got back no results.

The version of android it is running=> 4.4.2

Device info:

Alcatel (TCL) One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (MT6582)

You wrote:

This baffles me - as it seems for flashing to happen the device must 1st be rooted, yes ?!?

I found mentions of these, read them through, and:

I remain baffled - because I am stuck on rooting the device 1st of all - this is the biggest hurdle for me - if there is some way around it I simply do not know enough to even ask the correct questions.

Please help me to get this straight ?!?

Thanks.

Hi,

1. Connect your device to MTK Droid Root & Tools (MDRT) once connected follow the instructions for making a scatter file Here :good:

2. Make sure you have correctly installed the Mediatek USB VCOM drivers see post #63 and #64 Here also read the OP #1 to get an idea of what you are looking for. :good:

I see no reason why MDRT and SPFlashtool cannot get you a ROM backup. Once you have this it will be easy to make a custom recovery and flash supersu .zip for rooting.

ALSO Check your USB LEAD and use only a good quality one some of the cheap ones cause all kinds of problems especially with SPFlashtool :eek:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
@ Fourteenth

Is not a problem about Andoid OS version.

MTKDroioid works with MT657x/658x/659x (not MT67xx) and with standard (not new) dum_chair partition structure.

It's a device specifc problem (not Android 4.4.x - not MTKDroid problem).

You have to ask to the ROM developer to fix it.

If made a search "MTKDdroid Zero file no space left on device" you can find some situation like yours.

In all cases is not due by MTKDroid but a wrong ROM partition/layout.

Recovery doesn't matter.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Recovery doesn't matter.

That site also offered alternative way of backing up, using flashtool then having this tool split the image. Your problem according to that site, is your partitions are bigger than the 4GB internal storage you have. Sdcard doesn't matter, you only have 4GB space, that's not enough.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wertzPH:
actually the device is an 8gb storage, with about 5gb set as user storage, but its a unified storage thingie wherein /data and internal storage shares space if i dont set sdcard as default write disk.

i did made backup with the custom recovery as well as spflashtool+mtkdroidtool method but im doubtful if its a 100% full backup,since preloader.bin wasn't created or its lacking after doing the mtkdroidtools' "process file ROM_ from Flashtool" procedure

Don't need it, I can't make mtktools backup your device, if it chooses not to nothing I can do.

anyways, if you check my scatter-file, preloader and mbr starts on the same 0x0 address, with filesizes preloader at 40000 hex and mbr at 80000. i dealt with mtkdroidtools backups before but never seen partitions overlaping. i can probably do manual readback of preloader and mbr with spflashtool but i cant confirm it works unless i reflash it on my phone, im scared to even touch preloader :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vampirefo:
Just change your scatter file then try mtktools again using modified scatter file, or flashtool which ever works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wertzPH:
ok, i just realized that preloader_and_dsp is located in EMMC_BOOT_1 region, while the rest of the partitions are in EMMC_USER, hench the overlap in start address. i can probably back it up manually in spft. now if only mtkdroidtools can recognize that probably backup wont fail or i wont have that zero space error?
